POSITIVE FIRST TEST FOR CR SCUDERIA

The brand-new CR Scuderia racing team took to the track for the first
time today at Donington Park, testing an array of drivers for its 2008
British GT Championship campaign.

The team ran the first of the 2008-spec Ferrari 430 GT3 cars and it was
CRS Team Director, Andrew Kirkaldy, who took to the track first for a
few installation laps.

Following Kirkaldy's run the car was driven by Porsche Carrera Cup GB
Champion, James Sutton; Formula Renault stars, Dean Smith and Jeremy
Metcalfe; and British GT regulars, Ben de Zille Butler, Tom Alexander
and Michael Bentwood.

CRS Team Manager, Malcolm Swetnam, commented: "We've had a positive and
productive day; the car ran faultlessly and all of the guys we tested
thoroughly enjoyed driving the Ferrari."

The next outing for CRS is at Fiorano next Tuesday when Andrew Kirkaldy
will be back behind the wheel; this time to shakedown the world's first
2008-spec Ferrari 430 GT2 car.
